The Yoshi double-tongue glitch reminds me of SM64 cloning: animation-based, and results in holding an intended-to-be-fixed-but-actually-variable sprite slot.
I actually find this really interesting, because it's basically the same glitch, arising from the same systems. I didn't really consider how much the programmers could have taken their experience from 2D games and adapted their methods to SM64, but I guess they must've.
This class of glitch is a common one when doing this kind of programming. It's even got a name: Dangling pointers. So I'm not especially surprised that you've seen it twice in two different contexts.
I love how in depth you get with these explanations. That's the interesting thing about these glitches, there's always a perfectly good reason why some weird thing happens, but it's sometimes very complicated.
That's actually an tool-assisting emulator function. I used to do that with emuhawk. It rewinds the game and allows you to play over from the point you rewinded to (if you record it with the emulator's own recorder, it won't show that you rewinded, so that's how TAS videos are made).
i love this kinda stuff man! and yeah the video by Summoningsalt also went up recently, a new one about record progressions wich are always incredible, please can you name some other good ones that came out recently? im looking for some more good channels in this topic like mechanics explained and summoningsalt :)
Bismuth recently posted his Super Mario Bros world record explained video. As far as in depth, speedrunning videos, this week has had some really good content.
There really aren't many more, unless you want to watch speedrunning highlight videos. When I say there's a lot of content that came out this week, it usually isn't more than 3. It takes a long time to make so it comes out slow.
Love your videos! This one is amazing, as always. I always thought Mario was gesturing forwards in that animation, like “go get ‘em, yoshi!” And yoshi scrunching up his face wasn’t in fear of Mario hitting him, but just the anticipation/ preparation of him shooting his tongue
I want to say Miyamoto or one of the other big-name Nintendo dudes did confirm Mario's punching him, or something. I remember hearing that. Though, even if that's what they say, I don't think that's what the artist drew. Note how the fist is drawn to the side of Yoshi's head, rather than actually fitting him in the head.
@@LonelySpaceDetective I believe that Miyamoto or whoever said Mario was originally intended to be punching Yoshi, but late in development someone said that seemed kind of mean and the official art was redone to show him pointing forward instead. Or something like that.
@@LonelySpaceDetective His hand next to the head isn’t meant to be seen as the animation happens so fast plus the limitations of 2d pixel art. The actual maker of the sprite intended for it to be mario hitting yoshi..there was even a bap sound effect for the hit! But it later was changed in further games I think? Not the animation however but the sound effects to symbolize mario saying go as hitting yoshi would make mario look evil which he’s meant to be hero so it was sort of retconned. Not sure why they ever thought mario abusing yoshi was a good idea for a hero character they didn’t want to be seen as a villain!

most games are so terribly optimised, but there are still kids with oddly-shaped heads trying to run Forza Nine Trillion at 6000fps full ultra settings with their mom's grandma's Commodore 64, only to shit their vitriol onto a forum post about how the game is shet. That moment when they read the big word graphics option and they have to put it at 8x otherwise they slowly get a stroke about how it's not realistic enough to smother their bad family dynamics out of bounds.
This was insanely well made. This stuff was super technical and was explained so thoroughly and your graphics and gameplay footage were spot on. Really well done.
I saw the yoshi wings glitch in a 96 exits TAS dozens of times and when the TAS duped a block anywhere near a Yoshi coin i was like "It's Yoshi wings time" :)
This video was basically a foreign language but with words that I know the meaning off, but just not in the order that he said them in. But either way, he's got a nice voice to fall asleep to. This is better than any ASMR out there.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this channel. Channels like this really help in building the connections in my mind between the abstract concepts in computer science and how they're actually applied in practice. Plus, I don't learn very well from reading. So having a resource that explains things while showing visual aids is extremely helpful. In short, it's a perfect supplement to an informal education in computer science. Thanks for taking the time to make these so we can share in your passion for retro games and CS.
visual aids are amazing, i learn much more with then, and by learn i mean trully learning how it works, that we can even try to code this behaviour later.
Great video. I remember doing the clapping Chuck glitch a couple of times but never understood how it worked. I also remember having to avoid getting hit by the Chuck, otherwise the game would crash.
I'm finding this fascinating, despite being lost by all the technical stuff. It's very intriguing that so much can of this kind of stuff can be done in SMW.
Forugotēn Duwerā Cut the animators some slack, you can only put so much detail into these things. I personally can see the pointing animation as pointing.
Really awesome explanation of exactly what is going on with item swaps - i've always been really curious about how that works to trigger things like cloud glitch, eventually jumping to controller registers, etc
Fun video! It's amazing how many loose interactions programmers are relying on working together that can be broken or exploited to trigger unintended effects.
Once, just once, I pulled off that silly green orb glitch; I could never figure out how I did it. Now that I've seen this, I'm pretty sure I won't be pulling it off on the regular...
SethBling uses the item swap along with some other glitches for his warp to credits speedrun and kill bowser speedrun. It's really nice to see a thorough explanation of the various mechanics here.
Double-tongue probably explains the "eating a berry twice" quirk I've triggered more than a few times on purpose. Interestingly, it frequently puts a static berry image in place of the swaying one. Yoshi's Island 2 is a good place to see that one.
The quality of your videos are amazing. The animation, the explanations, are all top notch. Very technical concepts made very accessible. Keep up the great work!
9:03 this is mario pointing how does that look like him hitting, if he were hitting yoshi then there wouldn't be a frame where mario's hand and yoshi's head intersect. love your stuff btw
According to Shigefumi Hino (a developer of Super Mario World), Mario is punching Yoshi. “Lots of people think that while Mario is pointing his finger foreward, he’s saying ‘Go,’ and Yoshi’s tongue comes out,” said Hino. “However, the set up that I drew was that when Mario punches Yoshi in the head, the character’s tongue shoots out in surprise.”
After watching this video, I was about to comment, referencing to your videos from a while back putting a lot of this content into use. I don't know what it is about Super Mario World, but breaking apart it's coding and glitching the hell out of it is awesome. Same goes for Pokemon Red & Blue too.
Phenomenal content. I once did some weird combination in Forrest of Illusion 3 where I was hit by an enemy as super Mario, then as small mario, jumped on and stuck yoshis tongue out while spin jumping off of yoshi .... I believe Yoshi's tongue grabbed the super mushroom while Mario was invincible and simultaneously and tuching the falling mushroom? Then paused and exited the level halfway through the powerup/invincible transformation. I was on the overworld map with wings!! 7 year old me couldn't comprend this....I started the level and yoshi appeared to be armored or replaced with a charging chuck. I could never understand almost 30 years later
13:30 so THAT'S how I got that weird glitched goal tape one time on... I think it was either Star Road 3 or 5(?), one time! I knew it had something to do with the goal tape appearing when there were a lot of sprites on the screen, but I wasn't quite sure how it ended up in Yoshi's mouth. N.E.A.T.!
His expertise seems to be in NES/SNES and specifically the Super Mario games. Given that the Sega Master Drive/Genesis had completely different hardware and software languages, file systems and handling codes, it's likely that RGME won't be getting around to those games any time soon either due to learning how they work or, if he already knows, his focus on more Nintendo products.
Do you think you can explain the glitch when Yoshi turns in to a Chargin Chuck in Super Mario World? I had this happen when I was a kid. Couldn't figure out how it happened and haven't been able to replicate it since.
It's called 'sacrifice swap'. It happens when Yoshi dies at the same time certain sprites are spawned in his slot. The easiest way to do it is in Cheese Bridge Area, by despawning Yoshi and spawning the third platform at the same frame. If you do it with other sprites, Yoshi will get different collors. A bullet bill will give you a gray Yoshi, and a Mushroom such as the one in VD4 will give you a red Yoshi.
To add on to what Bruno Visnadi said, here's an actual example of Dotsarecool (the creator of this video :P) getting the glitched yoshi and 2 of the level end glitches all in one segment in this speedrun attempt: www.twitch.tv/videos/208549634
I'm greatful that somebody was finally able to put this into context, as I've loved gltiching in mario, I'd found so many combinations of ways to do things, but I could never do any of the finishing combo's in mortal kombat lol
So, to summarize, Yoshi is one of the most likely parts of a Mario game to have a glitch, and generally has useful and interesting glitches. The main exception is Super Mario Odyssey, where they instead managed to make Glydon's hitbox so weird that it can clip through any corner you can stand on, and where you can spawn a Gushen with collision detection turned off (I know they patched these glitches, but they're still interesting and useful.
Hi! How do you do your graphics and editing? It's _so_ good! Would love any insight into your workflow. Everything moves so smoothly and is animated so nicely. Also your video on mode7 was really amazing in how well you visualised all the parameters.
I may use the Koopa Kid glitch in a puzzle level. Probably very unfair to the player because they would not know how to do it, but it would kinda be a cool puzzle solution :D
Interesting that the 1-up mushroom is a power-up but the 3-up moon isn't. I guess the idea is that way the 1-up can borrow the red mushroom's code for moving and being collected? So Yoshi's tongue probably can't collect the 3-up moon for you?
Y'know, you said the part about editing alone and all, and I couldn't help but notice that probably was the case, as this entire video almost seemed like 1 single take. When you can hear the breaths someone takes to say things, then you know they aren't editing out many mistakes lol. Good on ya, you got my sub for this amazing clarification of how these things work.
I like to "rom hack" smw in my free time (basically just fucking about with lunar magic) so I knew things like certain tiles changing their contents based off of thier x coordinates but I never occurred to me that you could exploit that ingame to create different items. That's an incredible concept!
At 9:03 you say that Mario hits Yoshi, however, what he is actually doing is pointing forwards to indicate to Yoshi to stick his tongue out. About Yoshi's animation, that is actually him preparing to stick his tongue out.
Rena Kunisaki I see your comments on a lot of glitch videos, like from ChikasaurusGL. Glitches are some mysterious mumbo jumbo, and it's really cool to learn how to manipulate the code of a game. I also wanted to know more on the corner block. Like, for example, why is it even a sprite to begin with?
@@MaxwelThuThu Sometimes they run out of possible tiles, and have to move rare tiles to sprites. Similarly Sonic 1 1st level uses sprites to for some walls.
I'm no programmer, but learned the basic concept of numerical values represented in binary, and later had to dabble with making excel formulas. So I can follow this in a very rudimentary sense. It's been 6 years since you've made this and apparently you've gotten more in depth. You could go pretty far with your knowledge. I hope you're using it well. Good luck!
Mario doesn't actually smack Yoshi on the head though. He USED to do that in the beta, but that came off as cruel, so they changed it to him pointing forward next to his head. It's like... Nintendo went out of their way to explain that while Mario DID hit Yoshi at one point, he no longer does, yet all that people took away from it was "Mario hits Yoshi". :P
Interesting video and great work as usual. I would have personally given a bit more of an indication taht you're changing topics next time. "Now let's talk about the second glitch I mentioned 'Invisible Bosses'" would have cleared that transition up significantly.
The Tool assisted movie scares me. I figured it would be something ridiculous, but i never knew that you could continously fly in a line like that, even with tools.
Great video! I haven't seen a comment regarding this, then again I haven't delved too far, but I digress. Mario is actually not smacking Yoshi, contrary to popular belief. (even I thought so.) If you look at the concept art for Yoshi, as well as his later rideable iterations, Mario is just pointing for Yoshi to stick his tongue out.

Do you think you can explain the glitch when Yoshi turns in to a Chargin Chuck in Super Mario World? I had this happen when I was a kid. Couldn't figure out how it happened and haven't been able to replicate it since.

Looked like this
It's called 'sacrifice swap'. It happens when Yoshi dies at the same time certain sprites are spawned in his slot. The easiest way to do it is in Cheese Bridge Area, by despawning Yoshi and spawning the third platform at the same frame.
If you do it with other sprites, Yoshi will get different collors. A bullet bill will give you a gray Yoshi, and a Mushroom such as the one in VD4 will give you a red Yoshi.
To add on to what Bruno Visnadi said, here's an actual example of Dotsarecool (the creator of this video :P) getting the glitched yoshi and 2 of the level end glitches all in one segment in this speedrun attempt: www.twitch.tv/videos/208549634
Mine happened in the Forest of Illusion 4...the secret key exit area. :)
I'm greatful that somebody was finally able to put this into context, as I've loved gltiching in mario, I'd found so many combinations of ways to do things, but I could never do any of the finishing combo's in mortal kombat lol
Great explanation! For something so complicated you did a great job simplifying it and providing some interesting visuals.
This is so great to watch and obviously a lot of work put into this. Props!
I love you glitch videos, specially the minus level one
Great video! Eventhough at 9:05 you say he hits yoshi's head. He is actually pointing and not hitting him.
According to Shigefumi Hino (a developer of Super Mario World), Mario is punching yoshi
What was the floating nightmare that appeared at 13:00? [Shudders]
tangentofaj a bubble using the diggin’ chuck’s shovel graphic.
So, to summarize, Yoshi is one of the most likely parts of a Mario game to have a glitch, and generally has useful and interesting glitches. The main exception is Super Mario Odyssey, where they instead managed to make Glydon's hitbox so weird that it can clip through any corner you can stand on, and where you can spawn a Gushen with collision detection turned off (I know they patched these glitches, but they're still interesting and useful.
Hi!
How do you do your graphics and editing? It's _so_ good! Would love any insight into your workflow. Everything moves so smoothly and is animated so nicely. Also your video on mode7 was really amazing in how well you visualised all the parameters.
I may use the Koopa Kid glitch in a puzzle level. Probably very unfair to the player because they would not know how to do it, but it would kinda be a cool puzzle solution :D
13:00 that weird "bubble"
Apparently it’s made out of... shovels?
Interesting that the 1-up mushroom is a power-up but the 3-up moon isn't. I guess the idea is that way the 1-up can borrow the red mushroom's code for moving and being collected? So Yoshi's tongue probably can't collect the 3-up moon for you?
So much awesome explained. Thank you.
It's like you're the pannenkoek of Super Mario World! Keep up the good work, man! :D
I honestly glitched the video, so I’m now at timestamp -24:01, but the video still runs, as usual 😆.
I bet these videos took a ton of time. Thank you so much for doing them!
"To answer that, we need to talk about paralell universes"
Despite the brain-melting nature of these glitches I feel like I sort of understand. These videos are just amazing
So thorough, I love it! Thanks :)
I remember pulling off the goal orb spawning glitch by following a guide a while back, on the Wii U Virtual Console release of the game
At 17:21, Yoshi's just not having it anymore and decides to off himself. Can we get an F in the chat?
Omg I love how you talk about Mario beating giving Yoshi a concussion
I had no idea!! Good video!
Y'know, you said the part about editing alone and all, and I couldn't help but notice that probably was the case, as this entire video almost seemed like 1 single take. When you can hear the breaths someone takes to say things, then you know they aren't editing out many mistakes lol. Good on ya, you got my sub for this amazing clarification of how these things work.
10:30 schrödinger’s mouth
I like to "rom hack" smw in my free time (basically just fucking about with lunar magic) so I knew things like certain tiles changing their contents based off of thier x coordinates but I never occurred to me that you could exploit that ingame to create different items. That's an incredible concept!
At 9:03 you say that Mario hits Yoshi, however, what he is actually doing is pointing forwards to indicate to Yoshi to stick his tongue out. About Yoshi's animation, that is actually him preparing to stick his tongue out.
PIN THIS COMMENT!
Extremely impressive work I'm a software engineering student and you continuously blow my fuxing mind!!!!
What is up with that invisible corner sprite. What a ridiculous hack.
Rena Kunisaki I see your comments on a lot of glitch videos, like from ChikasaurusGL. Glitches are some mysterious mumbo jumbo, and it's really cool to learn how to manipulate the code of a game. I also wanted to know more on the corner block. Like, for example, why is it even a sprite to begin with?
related sprites
Not sure why they did that, either.
The corner tile isn't solid, so they make a sprite for it.
Why they didn't just create a new tile for that, i don't know.
@@MaxwelThuThu Sometimes they run out of possible tiles, and have to move rare tiles to sprites.
Similarly Sonic 1 1st level uses sprites to for some walls.
10:29 , The galoomba is in a superposition of both states until you open Yoshi's mouth and collapse the wave function.
1:56 I had to program that in my pong and super mario remake
I'm no programmer, but learned the basic concept of numerical values represented in binary, and later had to dabble with making excel formulas. So I can follow this in a very rudimentary sense.
It's been 6 years since you've made this and apparently you've gotten more in depth.
You could go pretty far with your knowledge. I hope you're using it well. Good luck!
Mario doesn't actually smack Yoshi on the head though. He USED to do that in the beta, but that came off as cruel, so they changed it to him pointing forward next to his head.
It's like... Nintendo went out of their way to explain that while Mario DID hit Yoshi at one point, he no longer does, yet all that people took away from it was "Mario hits Yoshi". :P
actually... kotaku.com/confirmed-mario-was-originally-punching-yoshi-1818873540
+wariolandgoldpiramid
What about it? This says exactly what I said.
+ShyGuyXXL: You understand the article properly the first time, your explanation his correct.
Then again, this is the same guy who locked Donkey Kong in a cage and tortured the great ape until he snapped and kidnapped Daisy.
You mean Pauline?
Interesting video and great work as usual. I would have personally given a bit more of an indication taht you're changing topics next time.
"Now let's talk about the second glitch I mentioned 'Invisible Bosses'" would have cleared that transition up significantly.
19:17 That slot has been licked!
YES! New vidjeo, great explanation of the block duplication glitch. Always wondered what the mechanism behind it was.
BOI YES NEW VID
The Tool assisted movie scares me. I figured it would be something ridiculous, but i never knew that you could continously fly in a line like that, even with tools.
man... like Schrödinger's cat. *mind begins to melt*
Colin Stuart rip cat's mind
Great video! I haven't seen a comment regarding this, then again I haven't delved too far, but I digress.
Mario is actually not smacking Yoshi, contrary to popular belief. (even I thought so.) If you look at the concept art for Yoshi, as well as his later rideable iterations, Mario is just pointing for Yoshi to stick his tongue out.
Just seems weird to me that Yoshi would reel like that when Mario does that...
